Among the following the most stable compound is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Trans configuration is more stable than cis configuration because in cis -configuration the H groups are thrown closely enough together to cause crowding or repulsion. Again between 1,2-and 1,3-configurations, in 1-3, the OH groups are placed further apart to minimise the repulsion. Hence, more stable is 1,3-configuration.
